Boris - The Prime Minister

[wetsmonkey]

What do you think?

I think it’s reasonable that people who profited out of this matter, that has sent us into such a deep economic decline, should return some of their quickly earned wealth to assist the country.

Companies that return to profit and are successful, equally should return some of the taxpayers money that kept them afloat.

. . . and, if your pie-in-the-sky thinking fails, let me have SWAG as to who you'll blame . . .

How would Government legislating for specific tax rises fail?
We live in a free market and capitalist society, many have done well and survived through this pandemic, due to taxpayer funded intervention, it’s not unrealistic to expect some of that intervention back over the next few years.

I couldn't agree more... The free market has delivered much wealth for itself and then inflicted first unlimited migration and now covid, both species of the free market of money/labour and both, most damaging for the poor.

The conservative party broke the red wall, thanks to brexit. But most of its new voters still despise the party and labour is not guaranteed them returning either, as people have long memories. I would expect the alternative parties can expect rising memberships and new votes to reflect the political change.

Does anyone think that we will see a windfall tax for those who have become exceptionally wealthy as a result of the pandemic and a tax on those companies, that return to healthy profits after being kept afloat by taxpayers money?

Or is that unlikely?

C'mon, wets, you know only poor people pay tax.

Not sure that’s true.

I am poorer than colleagues that do the same job that live in England

Boris Johnson appoints new chief of staff after Cummings exit

This should send the Momentumites batsh1t crazy, specifically this bit :

Mr Rosenfield joins No 10 from Hakluyt, a strategic advisory firm.
He has also previously worked at Bank of America as a managing director and is chairman of the humanitarian agency World Jewish Relief.

I wonder if Boris is deliberately trolling them?

Less enthused by the endorsement from David Gauke though.......

But you do get to live in beautiful Scotland.

£60k to put my daughter through university for the next 3 years, I would happily pay a bit more income tax.

Got the T-shirt. 3 recently finished uni. Two have a job, the youngest keeps emptying the fridge. Bless him!

You are more than welcome to pay mine anytime you like

They should be rabid by now!

And you can pay mine and I get free university tuition fees for my daughter?
Sounds good.

Why are you paying for that tab?

 

[wetsmonkey]

I’m stumping up 1/3, so £20k, her mum £20k and my daughter is finding the last £20k. It’s what I promised her years ago.

Fair enough, then. I was thinking you were on the hook for the whole thing. Doing the maths for 60k pounds plus was a bit of an eye watering experience.

Might be cheaper to study abroad if you’re stumping up that sort of cash up front. Recall some of the Flemish universities in Belgium charged even international students something like 600 euros a year.

Sounds good.

They wouldn't be free - other people would be paying.

At least Jeremy was neither present nor involved....

So long as he's kept away from Brexit prior to 1st January. DC had a fanatics focus in getting over the line without giving much away. Rosenfield may concede more.
